        Key: JS1-513
    Summary: Use of Absolure URLs prevent Jetspeed from running behind firewall/reverse proxy
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Jetspeed
 Components: 
             Aggregation Engine
             Layout
   Versions:
             1.5-dev / CVS

Environment: Any emvoronment

Description:
Jetspeed builds its URLs using org.apache.jetspeed.util.template.JetspeedLink which exploits the turbine class org.apache.turbine.util.DynamicURI which produces absolute URLs. 
(eg <a href="http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/page/default.psml">)

Turbine 2.2 includes also a class org.apache.turbine.util.RelativeDynamicURI which extends DynamicURI and returns absolute URIs.

(eg <a href="/jetspeed/portal/page/default.psml"> )

Jetspeed (v. 1.5) never uses RelativeDynamicURI to builds its own links so when it gets deployed behind a firewall/reverse proxy jetspeed absolute URLs are not addressable on the internet.

Jeetspeed should 
- use RelativeDynamicURI to build absolute URI 
- the templates' HTML BASE HREFs should return something like:

    <base href="http://www.myserver.com/myportal/">  

where www.myserver.com would ideally be a config property in JR.props taht can be set to the local hostname (default behaviour) or to the firewall hostname in case jetspeed gets deployed behind a firewall.
